Serena & Venus Williams Melbourne: An Australian Open electrified by the revivals of seasoned champions will bathe in the warm glow of nostalgia on Saturday when the Williams sisters contest the women's final at Rod Laver Arena. On Saturday, 35-year-old Serena will bid for a record 23rd Grand Slam title in the professional era, while Venus will strive for her eighth, and first in almost nine years. Saturday's final will be the Williams sisters ninth at a Grand Slam and their first since Wimbledon in 2009, where Serena won in two sets. Eras have come and gone, but Serena has never left the stage, winning nine Grand Slam titles since turning 30. But since a drought-breaking quarter-final at the 2015 Australian Open, Venus has risen again.
